Strange sound beneath the car. (Will be fixed by dealer)
Dashboard rattles. (Dealer will try to fix it)
A overall nice car, but I have bad feeling because of the early rattling in the dashboard and the problems with noise underneath the car.
The 65hp engine is very good.
What type of noise is the strange sound from under the car?I think I may have the same problem, which the technicians at the VW dealership are trying to tell me is tyre noise, I don't think it is.

I bought a VW polo 1.4S and there is a rattling noise. The dealer says that the engine needs replacing. The first check the tensioner and cambelt and water pump was replaced, but the noise was there. The second check has revealed that there is problem witht he piston and therefore the engine needs replacing. very disappointed with our buy. Unfortunately the warranty period is gone.
I have a 1.2E 55bhp Polo, I don't have any problems with it.
Bought it in 2003, now it's a year old and done 17,000 miles, still no problems.
Although when I took it for the service they replaced my syspension because it was squeaky.
General coment on polo is briliant.
I have a 2004 Volkswagon Polo 1.4 FSI (Petrol) 5Dr. Car runs great except recently when I change down at junctions, engine revs drop and engine cuts out. On restarting, engine will not idle. Problem tends to clear itself after a while. No engine management lights come on. Had it plugged into four different computers to check it, including main dealer; no faults found. It seems to be an intermittent fault; has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what was fault and remedy?
